John Dewey: “The new technology applied in production and commerce resulted in a social revolution.”

Systematic and continuous inquiry into all the conditions which affect association and their dissemination in print is a precondition of the creation of a true public.

That and that only gives reality to public opinion.

Ideas which are not communicated, shared, and reborn in expression are but soliloquy, and soliloquy is but broken and imperfect thought.

Publication is partial and the public which results is partially informed and formed until the meanings it purveys pass from mouth to mouth.
